Coastal Dance Centre-Pre-School Program

Pre-School Dance Program

Our Pre-School classes incorporate dance, music, and mime through storytelling and locomotor movement, gradually introducing discipline with an emphasis on fun. As children progress to the Pre-Primary level, classes become more structured and technical. Coordination, listening, and socialization skills become more apparent as children mature.

Classes available for Pre-School: Creative Movement, Ballet, Tap, Acro Dance, Jazz and Tumble

As a performance opportunity, Pre-School Dance Program students are highly encouraged to participate in the annual year-end performance which is the “Spring Festival of Dance.”

Why should your child learn dance early?

To experience the enjoyment of movement to music.
To build self-confidence.
To nurture and develop imagination.
To improve fitness through activity and exercise.
To establish new friendships while having fun learning.

What will your child learn in our pre-school dance classes?

They will learn to follow instructions.
They will gain a sense of discipline through learning with a group.
They will learn co-ordination, balance, and how to control their bodies.
They will become comfortable performing before groups.

*NOTE: Children in these classes must bring a back-up dance outfit with them to the studio for class in the case of an accident. We ask that parents take their children to the restroom before dropping them off for class to avoid accidents.

**NOTE: Children in these classes should be potty-trained. A potty-trained child is a child who can do the following:

Be able to TELL the adult that they have to go potty BEFORE they have to go. They must be able to say the words “I have to go potty” BEFORE they have to go.
Be able to pull down their underwear and pants and get them back up without assistance.
Be able to wipe themselves after using the toilet.
Be able to get off the potty by themselves.
Be able to wash and dry hands.
Be able to go directly back to the room without directions.
Be able to postpone going if they must wait for someone who is in the bathroom, etc.
Parents: Please have a back-up dance outfit in the case of an accident during class. We ask that you take children to the restroom before dropping them off for class to help avoid accidents.
